If you're looking to be a bit adventurous with your palate, next weekend's Wildfoods Festival in Hokitika might hit the spot. Snails, locusts and huhu grubs are just some of the delicacies that will be available.
The festival was started in 1990 by Hokitika local Claire Bryant, whose wine cellar was stocked with a home brew of West Coast gorse flower wine that people were clamouring to get a taste of.
Claire is joined by Don Neale, the infamous stall owner of Huhu grubs at the festival.
